The Nanuchka II has now almost completely replaced the older Nanuchka I corvette, to which it actually bears very little similarity in appearance. The Nanuchka II is in fact a completely new design of vessel, and the retaining of the Nanuchka name is thought to be either just a quirk or a deliberate attempt at misinformation by the ESU naval intelligence bureau. The new ships are built in the same production facility at the Nova Gdansk yards that was responsible for the Novgorod FFs, and the corvettes share several design features with their "older sisters".
